A model and beauty blogger from Chicago posted a beauty hack video on TikTok on how to get “perfectly tanned” lips, but what got Asians puzzed was her use of mehendi for this.
While working with all-natural components like beetroot and rose petals may possibly be more widespread for this goal, people today on Twitter had been horrified just after seeing Brianah Christianson’s use of henna.
Watch the video right here:

South Asians on social media had been confused and absolutely not impressed. Many also warned that the cone noticed in the video didn’t appear to include all-natural mehendi and could bring about an allergic reaction or painful flaking.
Oh but I’m intrigued at the creativity. But why does she want orange lips……

Isn’t red henna (and black henna) recognized to bring about like chemical burns? I usually believed that only all-natural henna is really secure to use. She is fortunate she didnt have a reaction and ruin her face ?

After the video was extensively shared, the beauty blogger posted yet another update saying the colouring vanished just after two days and it had been brought to her notice that the cones contained damaging chemical substances. She also urged other folks not to use the mehendi brand.
